Got a good friend, I like everything about him, but he is literally addicted to his mobile. And he's not a fifteen-year-old — he's in his forties. He can't even be out for a meal with you without him checking his mobile every ten minutes or so. I'm going to have to say something to him like “Sorry, is my company boring you? You only have to say the word and I'll be off.” It would be aggressive, but sometimes people do need a wake-up call.
Drives me round the effing bend…
For more than ten years, I outright refused to own a mobile. I was forced into it by my bank. Something which I intensely resented at the time. Even now, a lot of the time, I forget and leave it at home when I go out.
